Head coach of Irish national team: "If we could not score goal against Azerbaijani national team we would all weep"

Baku. March 28. REPORT.AZ/ "We won a worthy victory, maybe the goal was a little late, but we had lots of chances."

Report informs, the head coach of the Irish U-21 national football team Noel King said after the qualifying group match of the European championship, against Azerbaijan 1: 0. 62-year-old specialist said that his team played without serious mistakes: “We mostly played around the penalty area of our opponent team. Later on, we went through the usual attacks directly. We did not play well enough in the first half of the game. It seemed that my players had reconciled with that. The worst period of our 8 days together was this 45-minute episode. In fact, this did not coincide with our desire to maximize it”.

The experienced coach said that if the team could not score a goal, everyone would cry: "It is a psychological moment that comes from enthusiasm. Now, if you tell them that these guys will not be able to win Germany, they will look at you very harshly”.

Notably, Ireland defeated Azerbaijan in a 90 + 9th minute with a goal scored by Shane Donnelly.
